70 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5Alex Zorach (1453 reviews) on Apr. 17th, 2013
A very pleasant and affordable green tea. Strangely potent, given how mild tasting it is.
I tend not to like these matcha-infused teas, preferring either to drink actual matcha or just plain green tea, but this one was better than some of them. I also found that more of the matcha character came out in this tea than in other samples of these matcha-infused teas that I've tried.
Dry leaf has a lurid green color, and a mild aroma suggestive of sweetness.
Flavor is very sweet. Aroma is vegetal, but in a soft way, not overwhelming, and there are hints of corn. Less grassy and seaweedy than typical for sencha, but these qualities come out a little more in the finish. Dusty mouthfeel.
This is one of the sweetest pure teas I've tried in a long time.
Very inexpensive for a Japanese green tea of this quality.
I recommend a brief steeping, as recommended (1 minute was ideal for me). Although the flavor is mild, this tea can become strangely overwhelming if steeped too long.
